How Do We Treat Sleep Apnea?

According to the severity of this condition, there are different approaches on how we can cure this. Some conditions may require an Oral Appliance, or sometimes a surgery if the condition has gone too far.
First, we will recommend some lifestyle changes like quitting smoking and drinking. If you are overweight, we will suggest weight loss, or follow a healthy diet plan. Sometimes, losing around 10% of the total weight can add notable changings to the condition.
If you have a mid-range of severity, you may need a continuous positive air pressure (CPAP) device that you have to wear while you are sleeping. This device will keep the airways open with Continuous Air Pressure.
There are other types of Oral Appliances available to treat Sleep Apnea. We have a mouth guard that will stop the airways from blocking. This will keep your jaws and tongue in a stable place.
If it's not treatable by any of these therapies, we will conduct a surgery. This will involve removing the excessive tissues from the throat to widen the windpipe.
